EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek currency, specifically a Tetradrachm Owl reverse dating back to 500-430 BC. Originating from Athens during the 5th century BC, this silver coin holds immense historical significance and artistic beauty. Measuring at a diameter of 2.4 cm (15/16 in. ), it is truly an exquisite artifact. The obverse side of the Tetradrachm features the iconic profile portrait of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, adorned with her helmet. However, it is on the reverse side where this coin truly shines. A majestic owl takes center stage as its main motif - symbolizing Athena's association with wisdom and knowledge. Crafted with exceptional skill and attention to detail, every feather on the owl seems to come alive through this stunning photograph. The intricate design elements are further enhanced by the use of silver as its medium, adding a touch of elegance and prestige. As we gaze upon this image from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece - a period renowned for its contributions to art, philosophy, and democracy. This Tetradrachm serves as both a testament to their advanced civilization and an enduring reminder of their cultural legacy.
